Good result last night. I thought Tim played really well, he’s got a lot of flak, which he has deserved, at times, but there’s definitely a player in there - he’s big and strong and was quite tidy on the ball last night.
The tackle he made when they were on the break in the second half, when on a yellow, was quality. I really hope he can kick on now and become a proper player for us.

He did.

Did anyone see that penalty given in the Newcastle game lastnight ? because if they are giving them now they may aswell just give a pen instead of a corner. but then again might stop all this wrestling in the box.
Must admit I hate it when players have ther backs to the ball and are looking at the player grabbing them. Pick up your man get goal side of them and clear it. How simple is that ?♂️?♂️?♂️.

It really is bad now yet referees do nothing.
03 Dec 2025 21:38:39
Opened a can of worms that has. it happens in most set pieces going to be non contact soon.
03 Dec 2025 21:47:58
It’s the inconsistency with things like holding and handballs, they’re making it up week to week.
04 Dec 2025 09:21:13
Watch this weekend because every team do it, let’s see how consistent VAR is. I think you all know the answer.
03 Dec 2025 12:32:47
Only Palace have bigger points swing than us at same time from last season.
Its taken until February the last 3 seasons to get this many points.
Only Arsenal have more away points since Moyes took charge again.
Thats clear progress.

I’m the same camp Bunkbeds!
Ten points of the bottom three. Real progress!
03 Dec 2025 23:00:36
We’re only 3 points off fourth, let alone 10 points off relegation steady progress indeed.
03 Dec 2025 11:36:58
Watched the whole game back. Bit harsh on Barry the outfield player, spot on harshness the striker. The rest including Tim good games. Observation, Dibling must be absolute crap if McNeil gets in before him, slow feet, slow reaction.

Get rid of Barry, he's rubbish.
03 Dec 2025 14:19:22
I would keep him Lee, no he hasn’t scored yet but the goals will come, his play is much better now especially his heading, get a new striker in Jan and have him as back up, would let Beto go myself.
{Ed025's Note - imo GB if we need a striker from the bench then Beto is a far better option than Barry mate, none of them would be the best thing but of course thats just my take on things..
03 Dec 2025 14:46:31
Only my opinion but I was against Barry for ages Ed but he has improved his heading and ball control is so much better than Beto the guy is so clumsy, in an ideal world I’d get shod of both mate but that won’t happen unless Father Christmas helps us out.
{Ed025's Note - i was all for giving Barry a chance GB but 11 hours of football without a shot on target for a centre forward tells me everything i need to know mate, at least Beto puts himself about and creates a nuisance of himself..
03 Dec 2025 15:20:09
How about trying both up top? Imagine they would cause chaos to defenders and each other. But it might be fun to at least try. Maybe give it a go in a cup game.
{Ed025's Note - if Fred Carno was picking the side then maybe Brass.. :)
03 Dec 2025 16:30:29
watched the whole game back, yes he does head a ball or rather ball hits his head, his groundwork is better away from goal but he is 6ft 3 or 4 and was outjumped by a 5ft 9 last night. Both are not at the same level as DCL and he is average.
Having said that we have 9 pts out of 12 with him up top so logic says leave well alone. I doubt very much we can get a decent striker in Jan and would hope for no panic buy. 21 points from 14 games! who would take 21 from our next 14. 42 pts 28 games.

Apparently freekicks are now given for shoulder charges.

A thought, Dibling behind Ndiaye and McNeil in pecking order, not playing games, promote an U21 and put Dibling in U21's for game time. Same with Aznoue.

We will see when Ndiaye goes off to Afcon. Hopefully Dibbling will do an O'Brien and have us wondering why the feck he hasn't been playing. Balls in his court literally.
{Ed025's Note - they are big shoes to fill Brass, but i would certainly like to see more of Tyler mate..if only to see why we payed £45m for him..

Morning fellow evertonians one damming indictment I have just seen whilst on the BBC sport website I was looking at the top scorers in the premier League from haaland with 15 down to the players who only have three goals and no Everton strikers name is on that entire list only KDH and ndaiye make that just goes to show that apart from highlighting or glaring problem it just goes to show how far we have fallen and how we have accepted mediocrity really sad to see .
{Ed025's Note - yeah we definitely need a forward in the next window TB, great win yesterday though in spite of that and the lads are really putting a shift in even though we look a bit short in numbers, a couple needed in January even if its just loans mate..

Haaland is a freak of nature 100 goals in 111 premiership games. Arsenals wage structure prevents of course but with him they would be away and clear even at this stage goal difference.
03 Dec 2025 15:24:14
If we had Haaland we would be top four, that's how good he is.
03 Dec 2025 18:14:35
Yeah BrassingtonBlue but we could only afford to play with a goalkeeper and Haaland ???.
02 Dec 2025 23:48:59
One thing that appears to be different with this second stint for Moyes is that the fragility seems to be gone when being ahead in matches. We have only dropped 4 points from winning positions this season. 2 against West Ham and Sunderland.
We controlled that game very well after going ahead tonight. There seemed to be a maturity about us in terms of keeping the ball and minimising danger. We had a spell towards the end between KDH, McNeil, Ndiaye and Jim, where they kept the ball well and had Bournemouth chasing shadows.
KDH was brilliant again tonight and it seems that deeper role suits him more. The lad can only get better as well, as he has only just managed to notch more PL games than he has Championship games last month.
If we can get 3 pts at the weekend, it will leave 2 very tough games against Chelsea and Arsenal but then our run turns very kind, probably our best run of fixtures in the season. We play Leeds at the end of said run, a few days before the window closes. If we can keep picking up points and staying within reach of the top 4, I wonder if the Friedkins will get excited and get their cheque books out.
Hopefully more positive times ahead for us Blues and boy do we deserve it.

I was thinking the same thing BN. We have players now who can keep hold of the ball rather than just wacking it clear and inviting more pressure on to us. We are definitely only a few signings away from potentially having one of our best seasons for a long time.
03 Dec 2025 08:32:27
And the Villa game was definitely there for the taking.
03 Dec 2025 09:35:20
KDH has been saying for most of the season that his best position is playing in a deeper role.
Keep him there alongside Gana, and have Garner stay at right back. Thought the lad had a good game there last night.
Defended well and got forward well.
Keep Alcaraz in the forward position he will get better with games.
Find that striker and a long term replacement for Gana and we won’t be to bad.
03 Dec 2025 13:33:45
Toffeebwoy Grealish the goal deflect genius.
02 Dec 2025 22:32:26
Jim's deliveries tonight were brilliant. Hopefully that can be the standard moving forward. Baffles me how only a handful of PL players are capable of beating the first man.
Can't beat getting a snide goal like that to win the game. Massive result. Hopefully we can carry on against gravel mouth at the weekend.
Up the Ev!

Great result after getting a thrashing at the weekend. Barry needs dropping if he offers nothing. Oh how we need a striker!
Great to see another clean sheet and Grealish register another goal. To think we played Harrison on the wing last season who managed one goal and no assists.
What I don’t get is Dibling sitting on the bench and bringing on McNeil.

So we win 3 out of 4 and you want bsrry dropped, he's been a great part of these wins, he's not scored but contributed, get off the lads back we are 9th.
02 Dec 2025 23:43:55
At the beginning of the season if someone offered us being 7 points off 2nd after 14 games we would've snatched their arm off.
Let's cut them some slack.
03 Dec 2025 04:58:52
Yes we are 9th with a center-forward who has not scored all season, just think where we could be with one who can.
03 Dec 2025 07:51:38
I’m sorry but Barry is one of the worst strikers I’ve seen play in the blue shirt, a striker in January is clearly a necessity. Send Barry back to Spain on loan or something, he offers less than Beto.
{Ed025's Note - agreed Peter..
03 Dec 2025 15:27:20
Don't know I have seen a few that could give him a run for his money for that title.
